This one was an easy choice. Missouri State was one of the worst teams in the FCS last season, going just 1-10 overall and 1-7 in conference play. The Bears faced just one FBS team in Tulane and they were blown out 58-6.

It doesn’t much matter what the Bears return for 2020 because Oklahoma is going to win this one by a million. OK, not a million, but darn close.

Spencer Rattler is going to have one heck of a coming out party.

When Les Miles was hired as head coach of Kansas in 2019, it seemed inevitable that he’d turn things around, but one 3-9 season later and we’re looking at a program with plenty of work to do.

The Jayhawks return 1,000-yard rusher Pooka Williams Jr. and its top three receivers, but the defense will be the main concern. The Jayhawks return just three starters to a unit that ranked No. 122 in the country and 120th in scoring. If things are going to turn around, the Jayhawks need to figure out that side of the ball.
